35 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Encinitas

“loved the salad and dessert i ordered, half-a cado salad and strawberries and cream custard,“

“An excellent place for a first date. It’s quiet enough to talk, yet not so quiet that it feels awkward. The lighting is soft and romantic, and the drink selection is fantastic — especially if you’re into wines or classy cocktails. I appreciated the attention to detail: the garnishes were fresh, glassware elegant, and even the water was served with a cucumber slice. That’s how you know they care about presentation. We stayed for almost three hours, just talking and sipping. Will definitely come back.“

“Food and service was amazing“

“Food was delicious, unusual offerings for Encinitas. Staff was friendly. Too noisy to have a conversation and too dark to tell if there was still food on the the share plates. Also, there was no beer on draft and a very limited wine selection. I would go back for a casual night out for two.“

“Good pho, 3.5/5. Really enjoyed the broth flavor, pretty good fresh noodles, meat was a bit sub par extra chewy texture and fat around edges. Given the hefty price per bowl, and restaurant name, should improve quality of meat served.“

“Love this place and the food is all good 😘“

“Absolutely outstanding - best Thai food we’ve had outside of Thailand. Noodles had that elusive awesome wok hay flavor (I know that’s a Chinese concept but not sure how to describe the Thai equivalent). Our server was super friendly and efficient- food came out lightning fast. We ordered the fried eggplant, the basil stir fry with beef, and the Chow Fun with tofu. Only wish we had more people in our party so we could try more things.“

“Me encanta el sushi y tienes muchas opciones!“

“I simply do not understand the other reviewers saying the food and/or service was subpar. My husband and I were there on an anniversary trip from Atlanta and this was a SUPER fun lunch stop as we were out walking Solana Beach. There’s even the tiniest view of the ocean from the front porch bar seats. The customer service was INCREDIBLE. We were served our food quickly even though there were several other customers at the same time. Food portions were very generous. The owner took time to talk to us personally and was incredibly friendly. Seriously one of the highlights of our trip. It’s a “shack” and that’s the vibe they are going for and it totally works. Great atmosphere. Great food. Great service. Not sure what else you could ask for from a fast food establishment. Don’t pass by! Definitely give it a try! It’s something unique. Not just another burger, taco or chicken sandwich. And be sure to talk to Sindi if she’s there. She’s just lovely to chat with. Recommend 10/10!!“

“可以吃到上海的生煎包，很Nice.味道很正宗.非常值得推薦“

“I got the strips and radish as the side. Order half spicy half garlic. OMG it was tasty 👅 AF. The price was a bargain compared to the quality and quantity of food I got. The hostess was 🔥🔥🤘. Great customer service.“

“Poki Poki is always the �“

“absolutely delicious Chinese food my wife and I share chicken with vegetables, beef and string green beans and they were both fantastic. The meat was so tender. The spice was perfect and the service was magnificent. We’re from Portland and we love this place.“

“I just had the pleasure of trying this restaurant for the first time yesterday.

My husband and I had our own seafood salads to go.

They were delicious and very generous with the fish portions for how affordable they were!

And the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I highly recommend you give them a try!“

“Such a hidden gem, our go to place. The staff is always sweet and accommodating of customizations to make vegetarian friendly sushi. Healthy size portions. Love all the other veggie options, especially the“crispy garlic tofu” appetizer but PLEASE bring back the old recipe, the new thicker tempura on it is chewy and unpleasant.“

“So glad to find Poki Poki has a location in Carlsbad. I was trudging out to the Oceanside locations for my poke fix, but this is much closer. The food is just as delicious as the other locations.

I always get the seared ahi as one of my proteins, which comes in thick wedges. The servings are generous, a regular size bowl is easily two meals for me. The staff here is friendly, the fish is fresh, the location is right across the street from the beach, and they serve beer here too. What's not to love?“

“Perfect, amazing and always awesome. Fast service, nice staff and great food!“

“The food was delicious I recommend it everyone.... FrIendly waiter u can see them making the food I enjoyed it.. I’m coming to eat..“

“Great place! The best rice bowls ever. Everything is so fresh.“

“This place is amazing. So yummy and the owners and staff are so kind and always attentive and the food is fresh.“

“I usually don’t to restaurants that are overly broad with the foods they serve, but I’m glad I did! This place is excellent. I shared the 2 x $25 meal (gyu-don and chicken karaage) and a salmon poke bowl. Karaage was super light and crispy and the gyu-don was exactly what I was imagining. The salmon poke bowl also great, with a mix of raw and seared salmon. The seared salmon was a great touch! Overall, everything was delicious and very good portions. I will definitely be returning to try some other menu items!“

“Delicious options for vegans, nice customer service, outdoor dining 👍🏻“

“We had a yummy and fun 40th birthday celebration at Zen. Di (server) took such great care us us - which really transformed our experience. They have plenty of space and the menu has a bit of something for everyone - highly recommend it for groups.“

“Food and service was amazing“

“Best sushi since Iroha in Sherman oaks. Just way above the others in san diego“

“We LOVE ourselves some Chef Tangs! From the first visit, we identified a superb atmosphere to enjoy fresh, quality food with great pricing. If you like spicy, you cannot pass on their hot and spicy soup. We have turned on several friends to that dish alone! We have also dabbled with most of their chicken and beef dishes; all have been fantastic! The owner, Lee, is an outstanding guy. Always amazing service with a smile. His staff always goes out of the way to make your dining experience memorable and pleasurable. They’ve made us feel like family from the beginning. We endorse this restaurant with our highest regard and crave it on a weekly basis. Get over there and try it for yourself. You’ll become a regular in no time!“

“Chealsea and Cynthia were absolutely incredible and absolutely made my dining experience 10/10. Cynthia was our waitress and recommended some amazing food and chealsea made the best drinks!!!! Will be back for sure for dinner specials and chefs feast“

“I’ve never had a bad time at Glass Box! The food is amazing and the servers, sushi chefs, and management team will make you feel kind you’re a VIP from the second you walk in their establishment. I highly recommend the omakase experience!“

“La verdad aparte de q yo trabaje aqui esta muy rica la comida todo echo al instante“

“We tried the Fruit Sando! It was very good- and very generous on the cream. Fruit tasted fresh and bread was okay. Display was nice as well. Next time I’ll have to try some of their savory options but all and all a very easy and pleasing experience. $11 was a little steep and maybe around $8 i’d come more often and they could consider catering at that price. But still good stuff! Thank you“

“Absolutely the best Thai I have ever had!!! I recommend this wonderful restaurant!!“

“Eating a lot of their food past four months through Grub Hub due to being unable to walk. It’s always excellent. Tonight’s was super excellent, chop suey with beef extra snow peas and Napa cabbage. Been cooking for over 60 years and this is one of the best and healthiest things I have ever eaten.
Also a bargain…one order is enough for three meals!!!
Thank you Chins!!!💥“

“Awesome the freshest sushi I’ve ever had“

“Go see Andrew at the Sushi bar! Ask for loads of Ginger!“

“Front desk was friendly and efficient. Dinner and breakfast was good but dinner needed a few comfort appetizers. I happened to get a handicapped room which was huge. Problems I noted were there were no towel racks anywhere in the bathroom or bedroom. Also the handicapped shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. I had to wear flip flops in the bathroom so I didn’t track water all over the bedroom. I stayed 2 nights and paid extra care the second night and still water was outside running across the floor. I forgot to tell the front desk that the lower light switch between the beds was similar to a strobe. Flickering on snd off very fast. I’m thinking it was a low light for a dim room but it flickers. Hopefully they read this. Our room had a mini refrigerator and there was bottled water in the room, and a coffee maker. I would stay again.“
